I posted this in 2022 in response to chaos and 'mayhem' - in the world and online... Whether vaccine passports or digital ID... Hoping we can achieve peace, freedom, mutual respect and dialogue. ✨

Japanese gardens are not only an integral part of Japanese culture, but also a civilized mechanism for cherishing tranquility, and calming the mind. If you ever feel lost in life or your heart is weary, try taking a stroll through a Japanese garden. You might find healing there.

Rare great news about the government finally banning phones in schools. Enraging champagne and hand clapping emojis all round. Next step - get rid of screen based learning. It’s crap, it’s stealing the children’s data and it deepens their screen addiction. Here below is me ranting with the great Prof Jonathan Haidt and Sophie Winkleman on this.

@LGSpace @ArroJoanne My immaculate front lawn was never used so I turned it into a mini wildflower meadow with a few fruit trees. Got a bench on it n neighbours come n sit for a natter n enjoy the flowers. Other neighbours have now joined in too with their front lawns!

Blake Lively is speaking out after a major legal development in her ongoing case involving her "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni.

I believe Blake Lively. #Baldoni seems arrogant and entitled in my view.

"Instead of a clear set of rules (Law), you’re dealing with the subjective feelings of a mob." - AI This is why I wonder about @elonmusk's motives.

So 'Report Bombing' and 'Brigading' are a thing. Asking is X collectivist? "It’s the ultimate irony: a platform that's marketed on individualism and "free speech" actually relies on collectivist mechanics to function... quickly turns into the tyranny of the majority..." - AI

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

How many people out there are giving wildflowers a chance by leaving areas of their gardens uncut this year? Please RT if you are offering a lifeline to pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and bats by mowing less!

Gaslighting, lies, fake news... Are we to lose our sense of what is real or not? Always fact check & trust your gut. Make sure to verify it but trust it. Trust your experience. Eg something as simple as weather. After a lifetime of knowing humid heat vs dry heat... Why distort?

Also, did the EU cheer unknowingly for a 'far right' PM? Although, the UK Conservatives' policies were in effect not conservative, so it's not about left or right. It's about who supports centralized power and who does not. #PéterMagyar
